Yes and here is a recipie that you can use to help hair loss. I'm currently am transitioning from chemicals(relaxers) and I'm starting to use this mixture. I'm not applying any heat to my hair either and I'm wearing wigs. So far I do see my "patch" getting stronger and it is filling in. I will add also that I'm taking B Complex vitamins. Hope this helps as well!
A special mix of these particular essential oils has proven to grow hair at the same rate as Rogain...

Dermatologists at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland gave 43 people, suffering from a rare autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss, the essential oil blend described above and asked them to rub it into their scalps daily. After seven months, 19 regrew as much as half of their hair, while a few regrew almost all of their hair back. The study was reported in the November/December 1999 issue of Health magazine. The researchers speculated that this remedy may also help other types of balding, including midlife thinning for men.
Oils of arnica, lavender, rosemary or calamus stimulate healthy hair growth. Rub into hair before washing.
Caution: Avoid rosemary oil if you have high blood pressure. Keep lemon and grapefruit doses low if you have sensitive skin, as they may be slightly irritating.
